View SamplesThe striking PNS regenerative response to injury rests on the plasticity of adult Schwann cells and their ability to transit between differentiation states, a highly unusual feature in mammals. Using mice with inactivation of Schwann cell c-Jun, we show that the injury response involves c-Jun dependent natural reprograming of differentiated cells to generate a distinct Schwann cell state specialized to promote regeneration. Transected distal stumps of c-Jun mutants show 172 disregulated genes, resulting in abnormal expression of growth factors, adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal changes that lead to neuronal death, inhibition of axon growth and striking failures of functional repair after injury. These observations provide a molecular basis for understanding Schwann cell plasticity and nerve regeneration. They offer conclusive support for the notion that Schwann cells control repair in the PNS, using dedicated transcriptional controls to generate a distinct repair cell, a transition that shows similarities to transdifferentiation seen in other systems.

View SamplesBased on the differential comparison of transcriptomes of Homo-, hetero-zygote (Het) and wild type (Wt), in vivo protein-trap mutagenesis system, we have produced series of expression codex of the zebrafish. Here , we reported the transcriptomic characteristic of a line with stable deficits found in homozygote (Homo) expressing the strongest signal of red fluorescent protein (mRFP) in the central neural system and vascular system.

View SamplesThe genetic mechanism governing the spatial patterning of teeth still remains to be elucidated. Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is one of key signaling molecules involved in the spatial patterning of teeth. By utilizing maternal transfer of 5E1 (an IgG1 monoclonal antibody against Shh protein) through the placenta to block Shh signaling, we investigated the changes in tooth patterning and in gene expression.
Interactions between Shh, Sostdc1 and Wnt signaling and a new feedback loop for spatial patterning of the teeth.

View SamplesGroup-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) serve crucial function in allergy and asthma. Activated ILC2 rapidly proliferate and secret large amounts of type-2 cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13. Mechanisms underlying still remain ambiguous. Here we report that Myc is required for ILC2 proliferation and activation in allergic airway inflammation. Inhibition of Myc impair the ILC2 proliferation in vivo and prevented ILC2-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness in vivo.
A critical role for c-Myc in group 2 innate lymphoid cell activation.
